Let it snow! Or not...
It's no secret that I love snow. I love lots of snow, enough to go sledding in and make igloos with the kids.
But it never snows in Skåne. At least not very often. Last year, it dusted once or twice, but for the most part it just rained and the wind blew.
It's a bit annoying that now that I am out in the country, it's been snowing on and off for months.
Not that I don't love the snow, but I hate the fact that way out here, no one plows the roads.
Everyone in town has clear roads, while we have ice and snow still.
Late night antics
I had the privilege of catching the twins playing around in the kitchen the other night on a snack raid.
I had some fun with this morning's post. Read on...
Mattias has the day off, and it was my turn to sleep in. We're borrowing his mother's car so we can get in to the bus and he was going to drive Tayler to school.
I was up entirely too late last night trying to figure out finances.
I fell asleep after coughing fits, and was deeply asleep dreaming about something very interesting when something tugged at me to get up.
Tomorrow will be better
I didn't sleep at all last night. Cough kept me up. Finally got a little rest today after a good dose of cough medicine, and a good bit of exhaustion.
So about 20 feet out of the driveway, the car shut down. I knew that the headlights were out because Mattias had told me this morning before leaving for work.
What I didn't expect was the light show inside the car from all of the different indicators blinking and flashing.
And the loud persistent whining noise from the engine that made me want to cover my ears.
Burning
After spending all morning trying to get to Landskrona to get Tyler to school (I was too sick to do anything yesterday and Mattias had to work), I drove home and fell asleep.
On the way up, around 7:45, we hit a standstill. We could see there was a large fire ahead with a lot of smoke, but that was it. We were actually quite close to what ended up being a giant diesel truck that wrecked and caught fire. At 10:15, I saw that some of the cars waiting for the road block to clear were turning around and going through a service ditch on the highway to get onto the other side of the highway.
Bad luck
I got my pay stub for January and it is all wrong.
The consulting company I was working for has deducted my usual salary from the hours actually worked, so now the pay stub says I owe 9,500 SEK?
Ugh. Time to straighten out yet another mess.
Found that spark
Yesterday, while I waited about 2 freaking hours in the doctor office to have my birth control implant removed, the TV was playing an episode of the Biggest Loser. I felt motivated, just seeing the difference of the characters on the show vs when they started the program.
Today, Tyler and I are going to start using SparkPeople.com. We are tracking our nutritional and fitness goals, as well as our progress.
Join us!
Accomplished
Despite quite a terrible attack of food poisoning that hit our home this weekend, I have managed to get a lot of things done.
+ I moved my office into the walk in closet to clear the hallway.

+ Lots of laundry folding.

Move Planning
I've created a countdown calendar and list of things we need through airset. I'm fiddling around with the list because it's not showing right now... but it should be up soon.
